When I first started writing this, I swear My intentions were well And I'd start with maybe a memory or two But then I saw you for the first time in a while And awkward thoughts brought awkward smiles And I left your room for the very last time And I know that I can't sleep With all of these things, they're running through my head So I stayed up and I I wrote this song about you Isn't that cliché of me to do? But it's nothing for you The band just needed something more to play So don't blush or "hooray" at the possible sound of your name 'Cause, no, I wouldn't go that far, no Now I, I've watched these years disperse And still this verse lacks words And I'm losing all but a memory or two 'Cause now I see you and I can't hold back a smile Your fashion's long gone out of style And there's nothing left to impress me anymore 'Cause I know that I can't see That same girl that I had known so long ago So I gave up and I I wrote this song about you Isn't that cliché of me to do? But it's nothing for you The band just needed something more to play So don't blush or "hooray" at the possible sound of your name 'Cause, no, I wouldn't go that far No, I wouldn't go that far And you're dying to know If a "thank you" will show up on my back sleeve But I don't think I'll tell Of who crafted this hell and fixed it on me to the world I wrote this song I wrote it about you I wrote this song all about you Yeah, the band just needed one more song to play Yeah, the band just needed one more song to play, yeah I wrote this song about you Isn't that cliché of me to do? But it's nothing for you The band just needed something more to play So don't blush or "hooray" at the possible sound of your name 'Cause, no, I wouldn't go that far No, I wouldn't go that far No, I wouldn't go that far No, I wouldn't go
